Chapter 47 The Ferryman

Football will still be passed to Shahin first. After all, Shahin is the core of this team. He has always been in this role for the past season and has done a pretty good job.

That's why Hoffenheim will have a targeted defense against Shahin in this game.

As soon as Shahin got the ball, two opponents rushed up.

At this time, the Turks glanced at Zhou Yi from the corner of their eyes! Zhou Yi was indeed where he could pass the ball at any time!

So Shahin passed the football directly to Zhou Yi without hesitation.

"Zhou Yi! He received the ball! This is his second touch in the Bundesliga!" Duan Xin seemed to have changed from a commentator to Zhou Yi's exclusive data statistician, and he could find extraordinary meaning when connecting a ball.

Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV did not cheer, but stared at the TV screen nervously. As a fan, he knew very well that everything after receiving the ball was the biggest test for his son.

However, Li Cuiyun, who knew nothing next to her, shouted with the commentator.

"That kid just came on the court, force him!" Just as Shahin passed the football to Zhou Yi, Salihovic, who had originally pounced on Shahin, shouted.

Before he finished speaking, Gustavo, who was pressing Shahin with him, turned around and pounced on Zhou Yi.

Generally speaking, players who have just played often have not had time to enter the rhythm of the game. Their reaction will be half a beat slower than the players on the field, and their feet are not hot yet, so they can easily stumbling when controlling the ball.

At this time, as long as they put pressure on them, they may make mistakes.

However, Zhou Yi seems to be a strange man who cannot be described as "general".

Facing the ball from Shahin, Zhou Yi didn't even stop and knocked the football again!

The football rushed over Gustavo's feet, but Gustavo, who was rushing towards him, was powerless and could not make any moves. He could only watch the football roll towards Shahin again.

At this time, Salihovic was the only one beside him, and Salihovic was not very tight. Just look?

After receiving the ball, Shahin struck horizontally and went further away from Salihovicira.

So he was in a relatively safe position.

"Not bad!" Klopp's eyes lit up and he smiled.

"Yeah" Buvac had nothing to say.

Zhou Yi may not be anything strange to many ordinary fans, and it will not even attract attention at all. He just made such a simple pass on the court, which was simply no difficulty.

But to the eyes of truly professionals, they see something different.

Passing this technique is easily regarded as a ungrateful and irresponsible approach. Midfield passes the goalkeeper often gets booed by fans.

But 英语 is actually a choice with both tactical and strategic significance.

Zhou Yi made Klopp and Buvac feel good, which was precisely what he chose to pass at this time, which unexpectedly surprised the Hoffenheim player on the court, and also gave Shahin a chance to get out of trouble.

Under the circumstances at that time, most people would definitely pass the football to others, and would not immediately pass it to Shahin, who was guarded by the opponent's heavy troops. Or they would take the ball and turn around and go forward.

However, Zhou Yi was not greedy for the ball rights and did not take the first touch of his field goal too much. Instead, he passed Shahin very quickly and decisively, disrupting Hoffenheim's pressing rhythm.

In fact, there are many of these seemingly ordinary actions in the game, which most fans will think are meaningless or dull, but in fact they are shining with the light of wisdom.

For example, Manchester United's midfielder Carrick was once ridiculed as "Invisible Emperor's Cross-Transport Emperor", complaining that he couldn't see it most of the time on the court. It was like being invisible, with no sense of presence. He may not even have a close-up shot in a game, and he can only pass across, pass and other simple passes.

But the rhythm of the game is controlled by these seemingly simple passes.

When Carrick plays well, Manchester United's performance will be different.

Not all players on the football field are those who show off, but they are also indispensable figures on the team.

Just like in Barcelona, ​​everyone is applauding Messi's outstanding performance, it seems that Barcelona cannot live without Messi. But professionals will know that the first one in Barcelona is the unsightly-looking little man Xavi and Iniesta. Even Buzquez is much more important than fans think.

"Passing" Duan Xin was a little regretful. He hoped that Zhou Yi could control the ball more and send the football forward. As a result, he didn't even stop the ball and passed it directly, and the football stayed away from him.

However, Tao Wei, a professional next to him, could see clearly: "Actually, it is a very smart approach. In Zhou Yi's position, the most important thing is to handle the ball cleanly. If you stick too much to lose the ball, it will be troublesome. Moreover, facing the opponent's press, he also showed a calm psychological quality. I think Zhou Yi's kick can hit 90 points."

With just one transmission, you can interpret so many things. In the eyes of some people, you must be forcing Zhou Yi to brag again.

But in fact, Zhou Yi's kick was indeed so powerful.

The game continued. Although the football was temporarily away from his area, Zhou Yi did not stop moving, but he did not run fast and kept adjusting his degree according to the situation. When needed, he would run one or two more steps. Most of the time he was jogging, which was not very noticeable.

Speaking of which, it's like being invisible

Dortmund encountered difficulties in the offensive show on the wing, and the football was passed to Shahin's feet.

As long as the football goes to Shahin, there will definitely be at least one Hoffenheim player who also pounces towards Shahin. As long as Shahin stops the ball, he will immediately go up to another Hoffenheim player and form a siege against Shahin.

Dortmund's previous attack was so trapped in a quagmire and it was hard to move forward. Because Shahin was completely isolated by Hoffenheim.

But now, it's different.

The opponent's second player was just on the way to force him, and Shahin had already passed the football to Zhou Yi.

After Zhou Yi received the ball, he did not pass it to Shahin immediately. Instead, he turned around while receiving the ball, and then passed the ball forward to Groschloitz who was leaning towards him to meet him diagonally.

Dortmund's offense moved from one side to another.

The game continued, and Zhou Yi could always receive Shahin's pass. Of course, he would soon pass the football, either a cross or a short pass forward, but no one of the kicks was a threatening pass, just a seemingly simple transitional pass. It was like a ferryman on a river. He drove a boat to cross the traveler from here to the other side. But now the traveler has become a football.

Tao Wei no longer explained every ball of Zhou Yi for a long time to tell the audience how powerful Zhou Yi's ball was.

It seems that Zhou Yi is just an ordinary gear in the Dortmund machine. His and others' work ensures that Dortmund can operate normally, but that's all.

Most of the time, Shahin is still responsible for organizing the offense. Zhou Yi is just Shahin's support. Helping Shahin get out of the predicament, threatening passes are still allowed to pass.

However, although Zhou Yi did not show off, Dortmund's changes after he came on the court were soon reflected.

When Hoffenheim finds it difficult to trap Shahing, Shahing becomes active. Shahing becomes active, and Dortmund's attack is naturally activated, and Dortmund begins to counterattack against Hoffenheim.

"Dortmond's offense has improved during this period!" Duan Xin said.

"Well, Klopp's substitution adjustment is still very targeted. Zhou Yi liberated Shahin." Tao Wei commented.

"However, we must all hope to see Zhou Yi have a better move, right?"

"This is of course. But football is a group event, and there must be someone who sacrifices personal interests for collective interests and has a spirit of dedication. I think when Zhou Yi appeared, Klopp must have some requirements for him. He thinks that playing like this now should follow the coach's arrangement."

Zhou Jianliang listened to the conversation between the commentator and the commentator in front of the TV. He also felt that as long as Zhou Yi could successfully complete the instructions given to him by the coach and finish the game, he would be considered a success. After all, it was his first appearance and could help the team get out of the predicament, so Zhou Yi's performance was not bad. In this way, he had the opportunity to get the chance to play again.

After Dortmund's offensive started, Hoffenheim also made adjustments. However, Rangnick's adjustment was not to further strengthen the pressing in the midfield and frontcourt. He could see that after the No. 23 appeared, Shahin was liberated by relying on solid and decisive passes.

It is impossible for him to arrange more people to curb Shahin or Zhou Yi, because there are so many players on the court, with eleven people per team. If he spends too much force on Shahin, the defense in other places will not be enough.

Dortmund is not just one Shahin, and others should not be underestimated. If you give them enough space, they can still threaten the goal.

So Rangnick's adjustment was to withdraw and shrink the defense and build a wall in front of his penalty area.

This approach is the most cost-saving. First withstand Dortmund's offensive during this period, and wait until their offensive continues, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

After Rangnick made the adjustment, Hoffenheim indeed gave up their tactic of pressing in the midfield and frontcourt and changed to a dead end.

And Shahin suddenly felt that he would no longer have to face two or three people surrounded by light!

But in this way, Zhou Yi seems to be less important than before

Another purpose of Rangnick's move is to make Klopp's adjustment that has just been made use of.

He didn't know Zhou Yi, or did not understand at all. But he could see that the practice between Zhou Yi and Shahin was the main reason why Shahin broke his front-field press.

Judging from the game during this period, Zhou Yi seems to be an ordinary character who transitions to his teammates. He is responsible for passing the football to his closest teammates. It is not creative and not critical. It is just a part of hundreds of passes in a game.

Now that Hoffenheim has contracted his defense, Shahin doesn't need Zhou Yi, so what's the use of Zhou Yi staying on the court? Is it just an ordinary back foot? Then anyone can come, there is no need to use him.

So Rangnick's adjustment is equivalent to making Klopp waste a substitution place. (To be continued.)
